Gun ban, what may happen.

There is lot of speculation as to what may happen if there is a gun ban or an all out confiscation or registration of weapons. For the record I really don't think confiscation is something we need to worry about this time around but registration may be a threat soon (I say may) I think the way it would work is they would require all guns be registered in the next 6 months (lets say) They would estimate half of the households have a gun which needs to be registered, my guess is at the end of the required deadline only about 10% of the sheeple good citizens would have done so. This will cause them to realize that overnight they have made 40% of the population felons so the next step will be to extend the registration period another 180 days (with a few threats added) and this will continue for up to a year I would guess. In the meantime people like myself will be driving around with fake AR15's in the back window of their trucks just to mess with the liberals limited brains.Side Note: Full auto weapons were banned in 1934 but an Amnesty day was held as late as 1968

If it ever does get to the point of authorities going door to door it has been speculated and wondered if cops, military etc will go against the constitution and citizens and if they would refuse to uphold the law. I know a lot of cops and most are really good people and on our side. I think personnel assigned to go door to door (or whatever method they use) would not disobey an order directly. I think more than likely what would happen is an officer of some kind would show up at your door with a clipboard with your address on a list and say something like......"Sorry to bother you Mr Duke Sir but we have been assigned this stupid ahhh...task of checking for illegal guns, I am sure a fine upstanding citizen like yourself doesn't have any do you?" at which you respond "No sir" they then check the box marked 'compliant' and they move on. Even if they were required to look inside the house they may walk in the entrance, look at the ceiling and say "looks good to me"
It would be a daunting task to do this and I dare say not very pleasant and they would most likely not want a confrontation, I mean how would you like to be poor slob assigned to go into the rural back woods and mountains, miles from anywhere and do this. Some would never be seen again.
My personal opinion is this would be such a major headache and impossible task and cause such an underground economy that they would have NO control over it would end up like prohibition and be repealed.....But what do I know, the war on drugs has been successful so far and is fully under control.

Let us not fool ourselves. MOST policemen will do as they are told when it comes time to confiscate guns. They will only stop when it is shown to be too dangerous and too unhealthy to continue. Most people want to believe that cops are pro-gun and pro-2A. And most cops will even give lip service to it. But, gun confiscation during Katrina did happen didn't it? Viper Teams are on the highways, aren't they? Lon Horiuchi wasn't taken back to the Team Room and beaten to a pulp and encouraged to find a new job, was he? There should be Battalions of Policemen making public declarations of support for the Rights of the free people they serve. The silence is deafening.

Longbow, part of this was tongue in cheek but I do think most cops (at least ones I know) are pro gun. Of course they are not going to come out in mass now and say so because they want to keep their job for the same reason military personnel are not allowed to give political speeches in uniform. I will say I don't extend this belief to ATF or other federal agents but as of right now they are nowhere near the strength to enforce a nation wide ban. It's easy for FEMA and other federal agency's to converge on places like Katrina but multiply that by 1000's across the country and it becomes impossible even for state and local governments.
